It was concluded that the accident occurred due to the failure of management to properly provide for the safe handling, transportation and storage of explosives. Explosives were being hauled in the back of a pick-up truck. According to a co-worker, the victim had left the shop to get a pipe wrench which was in the truck. He walked to the bottom of the hill, drove the truck to the shop entrance, cut the engine off, got out of the truck, and was seen bent over at the truck bed when the explosion occurred.
